TimeSlips Creative Storytelling Project

In 1996, TimeSlips founder
Anne Basting was curious...

could improvisation and creative drama techniques
that were so powerful for healthy older adults
prove helpful for people with
Alzheimer's and dementia?

After trying many reminiscence-based techniques,
Basting shifted toward imagination -
and the improvisation sessions took off. 

With a dozen delightful stories in hand, she
wrote a play to share them with the larger community.

That play, was called...TimeSlips. 

Since then the TimeSlips project has:

• created training manuals for facilitators
• conducted and published research on the method
• staged plays inspired by the stories
• curated art exhibits inspired by the stories
• trained over 2,000 TimeSlips Facilitators across the world
• embedded the method in over 30 facilities/organizations
• assembled an amazing team of Trainers
• created a "service learning" program for students
  in high school, college, and medical school
• launched a new online training
• launched a new website with free, custom storytelling software!
